Indian Schools: Individual Schools
Figure 1.--This photograph was taken in Pune, the second largest city in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. The school takes its name from Kota Shivaram Karanth (1902-1997). He was an Indian writer, one of the main writers in the Kannada language. The school has a mandatory uniform. The boys wear gray long trousers and white shirt; the girls wear gray skirt and white shirt. In this photo we can see that going to school barefoot is not a poverty matter, but rather a children choice. We can see that two girls wear ankle-bracelets, but not footwear.

We have very little information on individual Indian schools. We are collecting information to better understand schoolwear and educational trends. We have collected information on a few schools at this time, both public and private schools. We incourage readers to send us information about their school so we can expand our coverage.
A reader has sent us an image from an unidentified primary school. Our reader tells us that it is a typical primary school from western India.
These boys live in a village near Kovalam (Kerala). They are wearing the school uniform. Each school adopts its own uniform. The uniform is white short-sleeves shirts with red ties and kaki shorts. The footwear is optional and, as very common in southern India, they prefer to go barefoot.
India also has a range of different private schools. A well-known private school is La Martiniere.
